Lucio looked at her in the eyes as she got close. His eyes naturally wandered down to her lips, and back up at her. He listened to her go on about how he was calm and the mayor and why the vampire attacked her. He could tell she had been thinking a lot about the past couple days. It was only natural. Lucio was about to say something but she had moved even closer to him, asking him if he had come to the village to kill Alphonse or if it was pure coincidence. Lucio wanted to laugh. He wondered what would happen if he had said he came to the village to come kill Alphonse, but he had enough of the lies. He thought if he should tell her he wasn’t a vampire hunter but a vampire. He’d figured it wasn’t the appropriate time to tell her.

The conversation was halted by Verna, giving him time to think about his decision. Anna really wanted to know about him and why he was here. He had to make a decision, and the best one seemed to go with what she somewhat thought about him already. Knowing that if he were to go with that answer, it’d sound the most believable to her. It had seemed she already deduced what the situation was. Something about her had changed, like she had learned something new to make her ask him questions with more of a… motivated? Approach.

He looked at her stepping closer to her, leaning and putting his lips a few inches away from her ear. [color=00aeef]“Should we talk about this here? Or would you like to go somewhere a little more private?” [/color]He asked. Lucio figured it was a good question. On his next inhale, he could smell her blood rushing from her neck. His eyes wandered over to her ear, then neck. He wanted to bite her and kiss her. His vampiric emotions and needs stirred. Having Verna around eavesdropping and a potential customer coming in through the door would only halt their conversation further. Having some alone time with Anna wouldn’t be so bad either, not that he’d make a move at an inappropriate time like right now. Being alone would let her get used to just her and him.

He leaned back away from her, gaining a normal distance between each other. He looked at her in the eyes as he took another sip of ale from his cup. 

He was curious to see what her response would be and where their next conversation would lead. He couldn’t determine how she was feeling and what her reactions would be when he gave her some answers. Telling her that he was a vampire was always one of the first things he wanted to do, but he could never find an appropriate time to do so. Maybe after a while, when everything had digested and died down a little. All he knew was that if his lover had just been killed because he had become some monster, and someone he was interested in was a vampire also, he’d probably just get out of the situation as soon as possible. He’d feel like he was in constant danger. His priority was to make Anna feel safe and secure. Then eventually he’d tell her the truth.

[h3][b]John & Jaques[/b][/h3]
John fondled his key chain eventually finding the key to his little meat store. He pulled it out and put into the lock, turning it. The lock had come undone and the door opened. He pushed the door open showing his little store he managed. He took a step in before hearing someone call out his name.[color=ed1c24] “Ah Mr. Blackwood.”[/color] A man came up to him motioning to stay for a second, [color=ed1c24]“A moment please.”[/color] He said finally approaching. 

[color=39b54a]“Good morning Jaques.”[/color] John said fully turning around. [color=39b54a]“What do you need?”[/color] He asked. 

Jaques lookd around for any kind of eavesdropper before turning back to John,[color=ed1c24] “We have a council meeting this evening.”[/color] He paused a moment, [color=ed1c24]“Apprently, we have a new member.”[/color] 

John opened his mouth slightly with surprise, [color=39b54a]“Really? Who is it?”[/color] He asked curiously.

Jaques shrugged,[color=ed1c24] “I don’t know, but rumor has it, he had killed a vampire a couple days ago. It was during the royal ball, and no one had even known.” [/color]

John asked, [color=39b54a]“Really? Who helped him?”[/color]

Jaques once again shrugged. [color=red]“Apparently he killed him all by himself. I’m thinking it’s the new stranger that had come to town a few days ago.”[/color] He paused a moment looking around then back at John, [color=red]“That one wandering vagabond.”[/color]

[color=39b54a]“Interesting.” [/color]John said scratching an itch on his head. [color=39b54a]“Alright, I’ll be at the normal spot. I’ll see you there.”[/color] He said turning around waving Jaques a goodbye.

[color=ed1c24]“See you.”[/color] Jaques said jogging away back to his office.
